| Greetings,
Some people will always start with the P&B just to break in the mech. and engine. Also if you are just starting to use a multi bladed head a P&B set up is a good training platform.
Others will skip this step and build the mech right into the fuse and do the break in flying with the fuselage. I have seen the fuse left unpainted for this step and I have seen them with just primer.
Which should you do? That will be up to you to choose. If you have never flown Vario mech. then you may want to start with a trainer just to get used to them.
As for the overall model...
Are you asking about just getting the model flying or are you asking about ALL the detail parts. Thinking you are looking at just getting the heli in the air you would need for the Vario Fuselage kit Bell 412 for petrol mechanics (Ord.No. 4120); the following items:
4120, Fuselage kit
1002/21, Petrol mechanics 90:18
35/32, Rotor shaft 10 x 214 mm
704/30, 4-blade rotor head 10 mm
116/95, Silencer system
404/41, 4-blade-set 1680 mm
70/70-4, Pushrod 2.5 x 70 mm
1059, 40° angle gearbox
830/83, Petrol fuel tubing 1m
830/68, Fine-mesh petrol filter
4321, Suppressed plug cap for petrol engine G230
1022/13, Carburettor intake trumpet
1024/15, Promix throttle arm
Also, of course, batteries, servos, gyro, and Rx.
This list does not include things like epoxy or other glues as some people have perfered materials they use. Files, saw, sandpaper, square, level, etc. are all good to have too.
Once you have the heli built and test flown then the details can be added. These can be purchased from a number of places.
I hope this helps.
